Zoë Washburne
- Kaylee Frye: [pointing to a pink frilly dress] Say, look at the fluffy one!
- Zoë Washburne: Too much foofaraw. If I'm going to wear a dress, I'd want something with some slink.
- Hoban 'Wash' Washburne: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress?
- Jayne Cobb: I'll chip in.
- Zoë Washburne: [to Jayne] I can hurt you.
- Wash: You are acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now?
- Zoë: Jayne slits my throat and takes over.
- Wash: That's right.
- Zoë: And we can't stop it.
- Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral, something with imagery.
- Zoë: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay.
- Wash: I don't know. I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. "Here lies my beloved Zoë, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now that she's all corpsified and gross."
- Hoban 'Wash' Washburne: [of an alarm sounding from the console] Closing in.
- Zoë Washburne: Planet's comin' up a mite fast.
- Hoban 'Wash' Washburne: Ah, that's just 'cause I'm goin' down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all.
- Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.
- Dr. Simon Tam: The Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword.
- Zoë: I think he knows which end to hold.
